Does Soperton have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2012. The violations listed here began between October 1999 and June 2012. By type: 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived and 1 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
